Hey All,
I recently updated the iPad iOS to the latest version and I have noticed if you put multiple fingers on the screen and drag or scrunch it will slide or shrink unity.
Anyway to disable this?
Disable the task switch? Nope, thats an OS thing and you are just a consumer on the OS as an App.
people will get used to it they will stop doing 3 finger slides by error
It’s garbage for gaming, and you should report it as a bug to Apple. I haven’t experienced it firsthand yet, but I’m all about the multitouch and this is going to ruin my day when I do.
you can switch of these multitasking gesture setting in the system Settings.
Where?
General → Multitasking Gestures → On/Off
Thanks guys.
I assumed it was the case that unity couldn’t turn it on or off. I was just hoping otherwise. It makes makes a impact on my multi-touch featured game unfortunately!
Its more about making an impact on either the product description to warn the user or apple to offer “application profiles” with game being “fullscreen exclusive” ignoring all global gestures, requiring home to go out (favored solution)
the main problem though will remain that the rumors that apple might kick the home button won’t go away so we potentially end in a situation where we will need to find realistic ways to handle the gestures / avoid using ones that users could do which by error are missinterpreted
Actually i thought, this “feature” was canceled or at least switched of by default by apple in iOS 4.
Althought everybody said “whow, great idea and great effect” it turned out to be a bad idea, because you take away those gestures from the apps itself. Ever played fruit ninja or zombie smash on a device with multitask gestures turned on??? Bad idea. You lose the screen withein the first minute and switched to some other app (of course no user knows what the heck was going on.)
I guess thats why apple did not turn it on by default.
Which leads me to the question: YOU guys must have turned it on bevor. No?
